Hazeltine containing three hundred cords of wood and fifty tons of coal, the houses of Timothy Lynch and Miss Sarah Appleton, the ten tenement block of Mrs. Grace Potter and four tenement block of Clifton B. Hil- dreth on the Pembroke side of the river. Sparks from the burning buildings were car ried by high wind across the Suncook river and set fire to Hildreth's residence, which was totally destroyed. From this point the fire spread to the houses of Charles Emerson, Peter Mechand and Thomas Otterson, all of which were burned.

CANADA AND THE FISHERIES.
A Novel Plan Suggested For Settling
 Disputes.

LONDON, May 1O.-Sir Alexander Camp
 bell, K. c. M. G., lieutenant governor of the province of Ontario visiting London to at tend the colonial conference, said in reference to the fisheries dispute: MT. Bayard has suggested that disputes arising in the interim should be settled by two off, eers, one belonging to the American navy and the other to ours. The objection to this would be that disputes will be left to court composed of referees who would fine it diff cult to meet. Disputes might arise when the officers composing the court were hundreds of miles apart, besides we think that disputes should be dealt with by the tribunals of the > country in which they arise. Canada has been extremely care ful in-iinstructing her officials to give no of fense and cause no annoyance to the United States. Disputes have arisen through Amer ican fishermen neglecting to comply with Canadian harbor laws, many of them seem ing to think themselves above them. Wheth- CT an interim arrangement might not be arrived at on the basis of putting an American judge on one of our men of war and Canadian judge on an American man. -of-war with power to adjudge the dis putes would be worth considering. The United States government have behaved very we'll in the matter. They were willing to have joint commission deal with the ques- tion and presidential message was sent to Congress to that effect, but no action was taken. The impression is that the President and his Cabinet are anxious for a settlement.
